Portability Tips
786
 
================
787
 
 
788
 
The ``bzrlib.osutils`` module has many useful helper functions, including
789
 
some more portable variants of functions in the standard library.
790
 
 
791
 
In particular, don't use ``shutil.rmtree`` unless it's acceptable for it
792
 
to fail on Windows if some files are readonly or still open elsewhere.
793
 
Use ``bzrlib.osutils.rmtree`` instead.
